Hammer & Hart

As comedies go this is not bad. It's completely harmless and fine for all ages (altough I'm sure most of the men will enjoy the 'hot carwash' scene best). This story has a number of stereotypical characters; the cowboy who likes the ladies and is a bit smarter than Hammer, who is big, shy and stupid; the tomb-boy automachanic; the strict nun and the girly blonde who likes to shop.

There are a number of fights which aren't badly done and rather remind me of the old Batman series (Zowie and Kapow!) with a bunches of stuntmen (which I actually prefer to see, now that so many production companies go CG for their stunts). I was dubious in the beginning, but by the time of the fabulous carchase with the little old granny in a car I'm sure she nicked off the set of Fast and Furious, I was hooked. And I did laugh more than once.

If you get a chance to see it, do.

Would I describe the movie as good? Not really, but it does show that it loves movies and you can also see the effort it put behind it. So while I don't think it comes close to the movies it "honors" by quoting or referencing or reminding us of (Bud Spencer and Terence Hill buddy movies to name just one), it is still a nice thing overall.

Again you are better off with the originals, but if you have love for independent movies (it does show at times), you will have some fun with this too. Really good soundtrack (songs) too. It's silly and all that - but as I said above with only the best intentions in mind ...
